Sounds like you and CBS are making all the right choices. Thank you immensely for the great site and watch out for them dragons.

Really going to miss you, Dave. All the best, duder!

(Baby is adorable!)

Wow what a shock! Sad to see you go Dave :( Thanks for everything!

ps: And welcome Rorie!

This is completely crazy. Thanks Dave for everything you've done, you weren't the most prolific in terms of being in content but the stuff you were in was amazing, informative and funny.

Good luck, have batman

WHAT THE FUCK! I just felt like I read the plot twist to a heist movie.

Good luck Dave, you answered me when I bitched about the site and lead me to buy awesome games like Dragon Age: Origins. You're going to be missed.

This made me really sad! Yet the sadness is tinged with happiness as Rorie is back!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FEEL!

Thank you for all your awesome work, Dave. I hope we hear from you on a later edition of the Tested DadCast.

Best of luck to you and your family Dave and happy to hear that Rorie now is part of the GB team.

Hope to see you dropping in on some live streams and similar.

I don't know how to feel :O

This is crazy.

I really wonder what's going on with Dave's career. Does he have no job lined up?

The site won't be the same. Though if Dave's popping in frequently, and we get Rorie in return, it may turn out to be a win-win. All the best, Dave.

Ohh I just wish I could vote these things up, give my thumbs up. Dave's awesome and spending more time with the family is a respectable move both child and wife will greatly appreciate - heck, even I do! Looking forward to your future guest appearances and stories

Thanks for everything Dave. You're going to be missed but, these sites will always have a part of you in them. That makes no sense, but it's early here and... well...yup.

Dave don't go! Stay.. Dammit Dave.. See, there's a new feature you could do.. :'(

Best of luck to you and your family Dave!
Stop by all the time, okay? Just, you know, to make sure Jeff hasn't destroyed everything again. (Pfft "SOPA blackout" )

Good luck dave, also great to have Rorie around.

You have a wife and child to support so you quit your job?!? This is terrible news, I love Matt Rorie and all but at the cost of Dave.........man. Flight Clubs, Random PC games, Dave's radio show, we're losing a lot. I'm going to miss you Dave.

But... But, the flight club.

I just hope Rorie will be featured on the site more than Dave was. Dave sadly didn't have a lot of camera time.

We'll miss you Dave :(

It won't be the same without you :(

Wow, Giant Bomb will never be the same again. Good luck duder, and see you on Coit tower.

Also pretty fucking smart to get Rorie in as the replacement.

Wait, Dave's leaving, but Rorie's back. WAY TO PUT ME ON AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER YOU GUYS.

@snide I was just thinking about you an hour ago and was going to pm you, wishing you well. All without any of this context. I figuered something was up.

I hope to see you around the forums. GLHB.

Wow, not the news I wanted to hear in the morning. I'm actually a little choked up. We will miss you.

Best of luck with everything Dave!

Oh man I am actualy crying a little and choked up. Kinda bitter sweet since I found this out through Rories coming on blog so thats probably why I was caught off guard.

Atleast its not a case of auf weidersen never to be seen again. Youll be around just Ill need to see it to believe it :P I think the main tearing is the thaught of random pc game or flight clubs without you Dave. Glad your still doing them when time fits But stil the thaught of a no Dave Random pc game ever again is scary.

Well cant blame ye kid and all. What with the major crunch you and the engineers have had to pull the last year and a half youd rather feel like the father that was around and loved your kid.

Keep that up and in 10 years time youll be sitting with a mug reading "world best dad".

Catch ye on the flip side duder.

There's nothing I can say that hasn't been said already! :(

Not sure if this has already been posted, but it seems to sum things up quite nicely.

Wow, Dave. You are one of four people I never would have thought would leave GB. You will be missed, mostly during the live shows, but I'm sure you'll be around. I know what it's like to want to just take time and be a dad, that's admirable. Hopefully down the line to you get back to a position of power at some other highly visible job. Are you leaving that dope ass lamp for Rorie?

Good luck with the future Dave! Welcome back Rorie!

Sad to hear but happy for you Dave, can't blame you for wanting to spend time with your daughter. Glad to hear you might pop in and provide the Dave Snider we need in our lives.

Any child who as Hardcore Dave as her father is going to turn out awesome. Best of luck and thank you for the wonderful sites.

Thanks for building the websites that have consumed my life, Dave.

Bye Dave, thanks for creating a website that got me back into reading comics.

Sad to see you leave Dave, but knowing that your going to get to spend a lot of time with your daughter makes it worth it. I hope you don't stay away too long!

Thanks for everything Dave and good luck with your future endeavours.

Dave's out, Rorie's in, Futurama has been canceled again :(

Thanks for everything Dave, you've inspired me to play old school RPGs over the summer and I'll start with planescape torment I think! All the best duder!

Peace out Snide.

I hope your Adventures in Fatherhood are as interesting and rewarding as mine have been so far.

Best of luck, Dave. I really appreciated how open you were with the community and the good humor brought to the more interesting times of Giant Bomb/Whiskey.

<darthvadervoice> Nooooooooo!!! </darthvadervoice>

Boyz II Men bringing me to tears! :(

Goodybe Dave!

So long and thanks for all the hardcore fish!

Long live Dave! Long live flight club! Long live Random PC games! GLHB!

Duder out!

Thanks for your work on the sites and best of luck to you all.

Sad day for sure. Always loved when you were part of some random content and I truly hope we get to see you again with the guys in the future in some way ! (maybe the snakepit will return someday?) What about the Blade Runner and other random old pc-games ?!

Good luck and im sure you will do great in what ever you decide to do next !

You're the coolest duder on the planet, I hope to see you again someday.

I think I need to go lay down. I can't deal with this right now. This is both the worst and best news I've hear all week.

Good luck to you in everything you do Dave. Very sad news because of how much you meant to the community, way more then just the sites you designed. May Chat Dragon live on in your name!

Thanks for everything you did and continue to be one of the best people ever.

ugh this sucks but best of luck to you duder!!!!

Dave: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rorie: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me: confused feelings of sadness and joy.

Also, with Rorie joining as promised my yearly subscription will be renewed come september.

Good job. Congrats.

Yep, this indeed conveys my emotions perfectly

Best of luck, Dave! You are leaving the site in excellent hands. Lots of love!
